The "-ARCH" patch for the stock kernel26

I was wondering about the possibilities of the "-ARCH" patch: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/ … hname}.bz2 .... which is: (_patchname="patch-${pkgver}-1-ARCH")

My question is about what it patches. Specifically, how it effects suspend/hibernate/resume......

When I've compiled my own vanilla kernel without the "-ARCH" patch, I lose the ability to resume from a suspend......

I have tired both vanilla uswsusp, and a "tuxonice" patch with no luck.

With uswsusp I am able to suspend and create an image, but when I try to resume, it "breaks" my SWAP by deactivating it, and then it skips to a regular boot up..... and usually I have to do a "swapon -a" to activate my SWAP.

With tuxonice, it starts a suspend, then it stops and says that my nvidia module won't let it. The gnome app called "cheese" also turns on without me starting it.

The git repo with -arch patches is here http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=linux- … ;a=summary
So you can see for yourself which patches are being applied.

Thanks, I'll read through it and hopefully I'll learn how to fix resume for my vanilla zen2 kernel.
